Hilarious viral videos

Who would’ve thought facial hair could be so entertaining. Of course, to make it entertaining does require some input on behalf of the person it’s growing on; it doesn’t just start doing stuff all by itself, although in Ben Garvin’s humorous video, it looks like it does.When the Minnesota-based photojournalist decided it was time to take the clippers to his burgeoning beard, he had an idea for a little project: to make a viral video using his face-based haystack.“I Googled, ‘How to make a viral video’ and ‘When is the best time to post a viral video,’” Ben told local news site Pioneer Press, adding that he spent lots of time researching the different ways of promoting a video online.Effective research and a talented beard have evidently combined well for Ben, with his clever stop-motion video on Thursday passing a million views just two days after hitting YouTube.Shot with an iPhone 5 fixed to a tripod, Ben made his two-minute … [Read more...] about Magic Beard: Man uses iPhone app and ton of facial hair to create amusing viral video

So it’s clear that Timeline still hasn’t arrived to every Facebook profile like the company said it would a few months ago, and people would like to keep it that way. Until, of course, Timeline unexpectedly comes to you one day and there’s no turning back. In this parody video, a bunch of young ladies sit around confessional style and admit their biggest shames: They have Timeline. But it’s okay because they will learn to cope. Besides, all their friends have it too!The video depicts Timeline as one of those embarrassing sexually transmitted diseases that you don’t want anyone to know about. In one scene, a girl sits with her boyfriend and claims she has Timeline, but they will do whatever it takes so he doesn’t get it any time soon.“She doesn’t even link her tweets,” the girl’s boyfriend says in sympathy. Sadly, it really isn’t that simple.To help cope with Timeline, the boys and girls actually go outside and live a … [Read more...] about ‘I Have Timeline’: A viral video depicting Facebook as a disease

There is always plenty of news to cover, but it never hurts to watch a few videos too. Below are a couple links to some new videos that popped up today. Tenacious D – To Be The BestIf you’re not in your mid-20s (or older), you may not even know about Tenacious D. They were pretty big some years back, but haven’t done much since their big movie, The Pick of Destiny, bombed in 2006. This year, The D is mounting a comeback with its new album “Rize of the Fenix,” which the band describes as the “greatest album ever recorded, by anyone, ever. That’s not opinion. That’s fact.” The new album will be out on May 15. If this teaser video is any indication, it should be quite hilarious.

Racking up nearly four million views on YouTube over the last three weeks, a video released by a Santa Monica-based company called Dollar Shave Club has quickly become a viral sensation primarily among men. Playing up the angle that current blade prices from companies like Gillette and Schick are far too expensive, Dollar Shave Club is a razor-subscription service that delivers razors to your door for as little as $1 a month (plus $2 shipping and handling) for the blades. The company had launched a beta version of the site during April 2011, but opened it up to the public as of early March 2012.

If Bill and Ted were able to jump back in time and convince John Logie Baird (the man arguably responsible for transmitting the first moving image back in 1925) to return with them to the present day in their telephone-booth time machine, Baird would likely be baffled and shocked by the long, strange, evolutionary twists to video that have resulted in the rise of the viral video clip. Then he would probably laugh himself sick when he saw his wonderful technology being used to capture that most personal and hilarious of moments when a guy gets hit in the junk, or a fat guy sings a techno song.The Internet has changed the way we watch video, and nowhere is that more obvious than with the rise of the viral video. A handful of years back, few could have predicted that millions of people would watch Leroy Jenkins ruin the best laid plans of a World of Warcraft guild (but at least he had chicken), or that a pudgy guy in a homemade Tron costume would become a pop culture phenomenon, but … [Read more...] about Digital Trends’ Top 5 Viral Videos of the Week, September 3, 2010
